power devices that require 1800W Max in total while the rated output power
remains 600W. The X-Boost will be automatically enabled when the total output
of all output ports exceeds 600W. supports 1800W max devices while the rated
output power is still 600W.
X-Boost Tips:
- X-Boost is enabled by default; you can enable or disable it in the EcoFlow App.
- X-Boost is not available when the AC output is turned on in a recharging state (in bypass mode) and when X-Boost is disabled.
- X-Boost is not applicable for all electrical appliances; it’s incompatible with appliances with strict voltage requirements. Appliances with voltage protection (such as precise instruments) are not supported. X-Boost mode is more suitable for heating devices. Please conduct your own tests with your devices with X-Boost enabled.
